The Concours d'Elegance of America will hold its second-annual Concours Open Track Event at the Waterford Hills, Mich., racetrack on July 25. The event is part of a long week of car-related activities leading up to the 34th-annual Concours d'Elegance of America at St. John's in suburban Detroit.

The event will be managed by the Waterford Hills staff. All modern and vintage road cars are eligible, as long as they can pass the sound requirements and are legal to be driven on a road course.

The track will also host the second-annual Waterford Hills Vintage Race Weekend, July 26-29. The 1.5-mile course will showcase several vintage race groups, including a Trans-Am 2.5 Challenge Race and a modern Corvette Challenge race. Both the Trans-Am and the Corvette are featured marques of the weekend.

“This is actually the resurrection of an old relationship,” concours executive director Jim McCarter said. “For many years there was vintage racing held at Waterford Hills in conjunction with the concours. Now Waterford Hills has brought back the vintage racing, and we're excited to be adding an open-track element.”

Registration and rules for the event can be found at www.concoursusa.org/track, or call (248) 681-4341.
